2020 saw a record-breaking rise in methane, a potent greenhouse gas. The increase was driven by a combination of warm, wet weather in the Northern Hemisphere and the COVID-19 lockdowns.

so it mentions several times 'due to lockdowns' but zero references as to *why*

Canada (where I live) never once 'locked down', we could always go out and shop at malls throughout the entire pandemic, I understand some American states may have introduced individualized 'lockdown' concepts

so with 'lockdown' poorly defined, and zero references as to what about 'lockdowns' caused an increase in methane...

...this is weird misinformation
